They can collect any and all data if you give free and informed consent. They do not need consent to collect data with a legitimate interest, but they do need to inform you of it.
- matsemann 3y agoNo, actually not. GDPR also has rules related to "data minimisation", aka you shouldn't collect data you don't need.
- tpxl 3y agoGot a source for that?

- tpxl 3y agoThis article and data minimisation don't mean you can't collect information, they just say you can't collect more than what you need for the specific purpose. If the specific purpose is ad targeting via a bunch of data from tracking and you have a lawful basis (ie. consent) for it, there is no problem, as far as you're really using (and need to use) that data for ad targeting.
